Finished cleaning snow out of the driveway and then used a heat gun to thaw out my washer reservoir

I heard you guys were getting a cold front back there. I sure don't miss working winters in WI!

I put new tires on the Power Wagon. The old ones had plenty of tread but had more cracks than a nudist colony.
I went from 235-85-16 Goodyears to 265-75-16 Falkens. Pictures will follow. I will slowly morph the truck into a "Macho" type clone/tribute. It will get the blackout treatment and stripes. This is the current picture...

My Dakota got washed last night, it sits outside and we got freezing rain. It sure looks pretty all shinny. My 50 is still sitting in its mangled form in the snow bank in my side yard.

I just looked out the window to confirm both trucks are exactly where I left them Friday. I would take a picture, but me coupe is sitting between the two of them in the snow bank, in my outdoor storage facility along the driveway. Aw heck, a picture anyway.

Plowed the driveway.

Then two days later everything else melted


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

I installed the correct/factory push pull fuel switch (in cab) and switch on the frame. Took out the "hokey" flipper switch some one cobbled in years ago. After getting my shop manual for my year truck, and going to the wrecking yard for all the parts, all went easy. The hole in the dash for the "hokey" flipper switch is still there, not sure what to do with it?
Here's a few pics.

Also, I installed some new exhaust. I really like the sound1
